Anonymous, MA (2014 Honda Accord)"Sometimes when I'm decelerating and get down to about 10 to 15 mph, and then step on the gas to accelerate the computer doesn't know where to put the gear so therefore it's between gears and I step on the gas and nothing happens. This is happened many times in the past. I've taken it to two different dealers and they can't figure out what the problem is."

RALPH W., CT (2014 Honda Accord)"It takes too long to decelerate! I anticipate having to stop - say, at a red light ahead - take my foot off the gas, but the car keeps going & going - taking several blocks to slow down and stop. I spend my driving time applying the brakes. After taking my foot off the gas, the speedometer needle indicates the car is slowing down, but the car still moves forward at a good clip.

Also when cold there is excessive slip in the transmission unless you give it a minute or two to warm up. I would look for a car with a manual transmission next time."
TERRENCE G., NC (2014 Honda Accord)"The mileage is great, but the car handles very sluggishly. The steer by wire is slow and the car understeers heavily.

Anonymous, PA (2014 Honda Accord)"Acceleration and handling"
L J., OH (2014 Honda Accord)"Acceleration is adequate and steering is good. Breaks have begun to pulse at high speeds."
Anonymous, MD (2014 Honda Accord)"For a family sedan that gets an average of 38mpg, the handling around corners and in heavy traffic as well as on secondary and dirt roads is amazing. Acceleration is 7 seconds or less 0-60, making highway passing and merging safe and highly competitent for a 4-door family sedan. It comfortably seats 5 adults with plenty of legroom all around for anyone 6’3‿‿ or less. ...and it’s NOT a hybrid. Amazing!"
Anonymous, WV (2014 Honda Accord)"I do not care for the Auto Transmission. It has plenty of acceleration if you wish to go quickly. However, it is almost impossible to perform a smooth, slow to medium acceleration from a stop, such as at a traffic light. You'll start nicely, but then the Xsmn will shift giving you rapid acceleration, so you ease up on the gas, then it downshifts. And, if you have your window open, the Xsmn sounds like a turbine engine winding up, though not as loud."
Anonymous, NJ (2014 Honda Accord)"It's not bad for a CVT 4 cylinder and the CVT is relatively unobtrusive."

Desmund W., CA (2014 Honda Accord)"The 4 cylinder engine provides all the power I need for how I drive. The handling is responsive...the car will do what I want it to do. Acceleration is adequate."
F P., AL (2014 Honda Accord)"Handles wonderfully, The only thing I miss is the V6 and 6 speed in the 2006 Pilot I drove before this. The 4 cyl and CVT will go, but not as satisfying as the V6 with gears. I bought the 4cyl CVT mainly due to higher maintenance and operating costs of the V6, but now wish I would have spent a little more and got the V6...expecially since the new ones dont even offer the V6 any more. :("
Jacob T., TN (2014 Honda Accord)"When needed, the acceleration is more than adequate(i drive always in econ mode) and still gets good mileage. I am very impressed with the tight turning radius."
